You don't need to say "lie here and there". It was my experience, respect it. Just like I respect yours.

It is an open fact that in the olden days Yoruba warriors chanted incantations in wars. Not fighting like Romans with swords.

Yourbas didnt have arena like Spartacus where they fight.

Go and watch "the woman king" - they tried to copy that movie and it turned bad.

Viewers will get carried away with the wacky storyline because of the visual effect. It's not a well thought out my movie.

That's my experience. You have yours and I respect it.

As for me, Anikulapo remains far Number 1

With all due respect, your opinion/experience or not, a lie is a lie.
And he gave you facts and truths.
Hence your opinion/experience was a lie.
You should be glad he delivered you from an age-long false opinion.

You should thank him and apologise for misleading the public.
Apologise to professional movie critics.
Apologise to the movie producers and cast.
Apologise to the Yoruba community.
And Apologise to NL.

False opinions is what's destroying this information/social media generation.

you’re wrong again ,the Yorubas used to have arena to fight ,where do you think the name ękę comes from ?

many ignoramuses in this thread, especially the front page.

MT:
Wacky storyline. Nice visual effect.

Yorubas don't fight like Spartacus in war or in a fight challenge, the ending is so predictable and the story line is so tacky - A bad replica of "the woman king" movie.

Femi Adebayo, dressing like a roman king, which I found so alien - should not have acted that part - Chatta or Lalude could have been spot on.

Wars were fought like Romans army with swords. Yorubas used charms to fight in their wars.

All in all, for me:

Story Line - 20%

Visual Effect - 65%

Anikulapo movie still remains distant number 1.

Where did u get your narrative that Yoruba fought war with charms.
U better don't let old Yoruba movies deceive u.

Haba Aboki! I don’t see any Roman connection in the movie. And you need to check history again, Yorubas fought with swords, hoes, farm tools, bows and arrows. And even use shields.
My great grandfather was Jagun Jagun and he uses swords, bows and arrows and charms.

You are very wrong, tho. The ancient Yorubas used to fight wars with charms, bows and arrows, lances, swords, spear and horses. The only things that weren’t used by these ppl were chariots, canons, bombs and dane guns until around the 15th century.
. The use of sword is not alien to Yoruba warfare.
The Romans, Asians and the west are not the only ppl who historically fought with swords.

latonione:
Don't argue with him, so Yoruba will fight with people who do not understand her language and you will be chanting up and down.

Like Yoruba soldiers will just get to the war front against Benin republic people and then they will start chanting incantation in Yoruba

Those ones will just be looking at them like...are these people ok

Dpaulie:
You so funny, so people will face each others in thousands and chanting incantations, and you'd call that a war??

This got me laughing so hard 😂😂😂

Imagine!

The battle will just be like a circus show... When they're both tired of chanting incantation everybody go back home 😅😅😅

This movies everyone is one cinema Que in Lagos and Abuja for it

Mynd44:
You have seen too many Abija and Fadeyi oloro movies sir.

The Yoruba states and those outside it fought large wars consisting of swords, aches, guns and the likes.

You think 2 thousand soldiers will face each other and be chanting?

LMAO!!! This made me laugh

Watch how the eboes aka children of hate, envy and darkness will troop out like zombies to play this movie down.

10/10 👏

Good Job!

Your hatred is noticed. Your rating is the opposite. Turn the score over. A movie that scored almost 100/100.
You post with all its likes ll make people to go and watch the movie and appreciate it more.

Nauttyprof:
This just shows your sentiments. Who in your tribe have produced a good movie in the past decades or in recent time?

talking about tribe already.. i was right. all i am saying is there is room for improvement. but its not a 10/10..

India and SA are getting better, we are dwelling in sentiments

Kudos to Femi...Nollywood has evolved

tolue42:
What do you understand about good movies??
Little kid

lol
small kid lol.

dey on side abeg.. u are not ready

iamdapsyj:
The moment you mentioned Yoruba boy with sentiment, it shows that you are an IPOBORIAN clown 🤡 still pained from the last general election. You will be well las last 😆🤣🤣

i no be ipob nor igbo... india and SA are getting better, we are dwelling in sentiments


that move isnt 10/10...

no movie in the world has gathered 10/10...
send the movie to IMDB and u will see that its 2 or 3 /10

Omoawoke:
The use of ogun (war) ogun (charm) ogun (medicine) oogun(sweat) will send non Yoruba speakers crazy 🤣

you forget OGUN (inheritance)

forgiveness:
What an ignorant person. If you don't know the history of Yoruba, you should just keep quiet.

Who told you Yorubas didn't use weapons? Do you think Oyo empire conquered with charm to rule vast areas?

😆..all this history make a particular tribe a laughing stock when they call yorubas cowards because of the only war they fought in there history which they actually lost,because their general ended up running to cote de voir

HydraFeeds:

Read up about the Kiriji war. The excerpt below is from Wikipedia.

As events were unfolding in western Yorubaland, another problem was brewing in the east. Prince Fabunmi, a private militia leader was celebrating with his friends in Erinle shrine, at Okemesi (formerly Imesi-Igbodo).[7] The palm-wine drink meant for the occasion was waylaid by Ajele boys and they came to the shrine with swords and cutlasses; took all the food items and began to caress Prince Fabunmi companion. Prince Fabunmi became enraged; went home and took his sword [/b]then proceeded to Ajele compound and killed most members of the household who could not run including the Ajele.[7] The news quickly spread all over the eastern Yoruba land. Many Ibadan officials and relations in most parts of Ekiti and Ijesa countries, were murdered. When the news got to Latosisa, he sent messenger to Oloja-oke of Okemesi, the local king who was also Fabunmi's uncle to kill him. Prince Fabunmi [b]beheaded one of the messengers and sent the head back to Latosisa through the other messenger.

I am having goosepimples with yorubas display of their knowledge of history. I always think we are all genZ,tik tok and endsars generations, honestly 😆

The way many people here on Nairaland bant can be misleading..many are not GenZ.

Personally, I opened this account here on Nairaland as undergraduate in 2006 and there are many handles I met here that still engage like GenZ...no mind those ancestors

They just don't want to get old

Omoawoke:
You can’t separate charms and incantations from Yoruba history. It was part of the culture. A man with charm is so much respected .

A culture that has turned most offspring to ritualist. I beg there is dignity in labour. If it's by charm Russian, china, America or even Israel for no stand tall today.
